The movie will receive a targeted theatrical release during the fourth quarter of 2009 through the Anchor Bay Films Stan Helsing Posterlabel and will then be released on DVD in late October.
Plot: The spoof centers around a video store clerk named Stan Helsing, played by Steve Howey, who learns that he is a descendant of the monster hunter Van Helsing on Halloween night while making a routine video delivery. He finds himself in a battle with parodies of such movie monsters as Freddy, Jason, Leatherface, Pinhead, Michael Myers and Chucky.
